I am strongly opposed to any new regulations that would hinder an investor's ability to navigate today's complex markets. Tools such as leveraged and inverse funds are critical to the ability to hedge a portfolio. In fact, I find the existing rules to be somewhat arbitrary and onerous.
More regulation does not help the individual investor but rather, undermines their ability to
It is an investors right to be able to access the entirety of the public securities markets. To limit this to certain high net worth individuals is discriminatory and likely easily overturned in court. Why waste the public's money on guaranteed litigation? Requiring testing before allowing investment is also a barrier to entry. What if I'm someone of lesser means, do I have to pay to
I am not opposed to additional disclosures. However onerous requirements on net worth or certifications will only keep the poorest among us distant from complex financial tool and lead to increase the disparity between rich and poor. Given the long term results of one of the most popular leveraged etf,TQQQ, this really seems like a ploy that helps the wealthy by limiting the upward mobility of
I am writing to oppose increased restrictions on investing in leveraged and inverse funds. I believe that these publicly traded securities should be available to all participants and not just the privileged elite. Im perfectly capable of understanding the risks of investing in these funds and do so as a part of a diversified portfolio (ranging from defined benefit pension, target date funds, and
I OPPOSE TE RESTRICTIONS FOR MY RIGHT TO INVEST

Leveraged and inverse funds provide unique opportunities to grow my capital that other securities cannot provide like hedging and enhancing my portfolio. I'm just a college student
I'm writing in opposition to proposed rules that would limit the public investor from investing in inverse and leveraged funds. I find it insulting that you feel you know better than the investor how to best analyze risks and formulate investment strategy. I feel that I, as well as most retail investors are perfectly capable of making investment decisions including using such funds in
I, not any agents of the Federal government, am in the best position to make competent decisions about the public securities I want to buy and sell, as well as my personal risk tolerance. Applying a predetermined amount of my portfolio to an indexed ETF is an important part of diversification for me. I should be able to continue making similar choices without having to go beyond my own sound
To apply these additional burdens to investors is absurd.
Why only allow the wealthy elites of society access to leveraged products?
Is FINRA my nanny? Can I not decide what risk is appropriate for my own family? Does one need to be so highly enlightened to understand levered products?
Will you start saying that Growth stocks are too risky and limit my ability to invest in them too? If not, why
I oppose regulations that limit my right to invest in public securities and public investments, including inverse funds and leveraged products. People should not have to pass regulator-imposed tests or have high net worth in order to be allowed to make investments and balance their portfolios with the products that best represent their investment goals and risk appetite.
